Season 2, Episode 5: Preaching to Women with Joy Arundell
How can preachers faithfully proclaim God's Word in a way that genuinely connects with the women in their congregation? What helps women feel seen, understood, challenged, and encouraged by the gospel?
In this episode, we're joined by Joy Arundell to explore what it looks like to preach with women thoughtfully in mind. Joy shares insights from years of study, teaching God's Word to women, and thoughtful practical wisdom.
We discuss:
- How women hear and respond to preaching
- Common blind spots that can unintentionally hinder communication
- Preaching to the real joys, pressures, and challenges women face
- Avoiding stereotypes while speaking with empathy and truth
- Keeping Christ at the centre as we call women to faithful discipleship
Whether you're preaching to a Sunday congregation, a women's event, or simply want to grow in serving the women God has entrusted to your care, this conversation will help you preach with greater clarity, compassion, and gospel purpose.
Our prayer is that these conversations would help raise up a generation of faithful, clear, and compelling preachers of God's Word. If you've enjoyed this episode, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with someone who would benefit.
